The Saris Classic Mag Trainer is a reliable, entry-level indoor bike trainer that uses magnetic resistance and a wheel-on design for simple setup and maintenance-free use. It’s compatible with most road or mountain bikes (650b, 700c, 27.5″ up to 2.0″ tires, 29″ up to 1.5″ treadless) and supports quick-release dropouts (120–135 mm), plus optional adapters for 142×12 mm and 148×12 mm thru-axles. The foldable aluminum frame includes leveling feet, and manual resistance is adjusted via a turn knob offering five levels. The quiet alloy roller and linear resistance curve make it suitable for casual spins, training sessions, and pairing with apps like Zwift or Rouvy (with a speed sensor), all while supporting up to 300 lb (rider + bike).
